Cover Letter for Sales & Marketing Jobs
Letter of Recommendation-Negative
John Smith,

Date: 1st May, 2005.
To whomsoever it may concern:
National Sales employed Richard Anderson a sales assistant from Sept. 01, 2003, to Feb. 29, 2004. His responsibilities included direct sales of medium and heavy duty trucks, including the management of existing accounts and development of new accounts through cold calling. During his time with us, Richard showed himself to be a less than an ideal employee.
Although much of the work Richard completed was average and satisfactory, most of his sales assignments were finished after stated deadlines. Many of his entries in the sales record-book contained multiple errors. When the management offered him constructive criticism, he showed little interest for improvement and demonstrated an overall negligence and resistance to any sort of critique of his work. Richard's attitude in the workplace appears to be his major limitation.
Richard may have the potential to become an excellent sales person, however, his abhorrence to accept criticism prevents him from becoming such. I would hesitate to recommend Richard for any job where he might be required to accept commentary on his performance or be expected to show signs of improvement. He does have the ability to complete basic sales projects.

John Smith,
